ive discussed it with friends, and everyone of them, growing up, only ever got a bike as a joint christmas/birthday present, due to the costs involved (or an older siblings bike, resprayed a different colour, so you thought it was a new one)- whereas now, bikes dont even feature on present lists, as most parents just buy one as needed throughout the year, and then for christmas you get the games console, the associated games, plus more accessories

It didn't change here. We got our son a bike for his last birthday, and two books and a small train, that was it.

Times change! and if your child doesnt have all the top of the range stuff they DO get picked on, its a cruel world but true, i have got my daughter about 8 things and its cost about 400 pounds!! it is ridiculous, im not rich, far from it but things are THAT expensive these days!

That would make me determined to spend less, not more - there's no way I'm splashing out to satisfy some little bullies.

The trouble with duvet covers is that they last forever. The single bed in our study here has a cover with a dog on it and is name-taped with my name and boarding school house, from when I was 11 - 20 years ago!

lol mine dont!! we only got the single beds in july they used to share a double!!! and they have cinderella covers a beautiful flower duvet and now these new ones.

Fortunately, my girls already show signs of not wishing to follow the trends (don't know where they get that from ) although one showed a liking of Hello Kitty. :rolleyes:

Right I added up. I spent £900 (including £60 on neices and nephews and £50 on dvds for me and OH) so £790.

But I did spend £200 on a new bed for wee man. So £1100, new bed for wee man and everyone bought for. Now I'm actually happy with that.

Ebay is good for Hello Kitty. Also this site has some stuff (for future purchases).

£500 Was in love to shop vouchers. Hubby had a very good wage in november, hes a car salesmans. So I took advantage. My limit was £700 on my two including £60 on the neices and nephews. And I was due to get his bed anyway so got it same time.

Too easy to get carried away.
